School didn't teach you risk taking. What school taught you is to normal, brilliant and neutral. Some many people believe in that in life for you to make it you need to have a degree and all that, which I don't disagree with.
But even though you have 7 degrees all to yourself and you don't know how to take risk you will live at the mercy of others.
The billionaires we have In the world today are risk takers, they are not sure if it will come out positively but they still go for it. This is why surrounding yourself with too much educated people will ruin you, you should surround yourself with people who has walked the path you are about to embark on, so that they can teach you.
It's good to walk alone in some path but take God with you. Acknowledge him and tell him to guide you.
